<p><a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-t" title="cairo_pattern_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_t</span></a> is the paint with which cairo draws.
The primary use of patterns is as the source for all cairo drawing
operations, although they can also be used as masks, that is, as the
brush too.</p>
<p>A cairo pattern is created by using one of the many constructors,
of the form
<code class="function">cairo_pattern_create_<span class="emphasis"><em>type</em></span>()</code>
or implicitly through
<code class="function">cairo_set_source_<span class="emphasis"><em>type</em></span>()</code>
functions.</p>

                                  <em class="parameter"><code><span class="type">double</span> blue</code></em>);</pre>
<p>Adds an opaque color stop to a gradient pattern. The offset
specifies the location along the gradient's control vector. For
example, a linear gradient's control vector is from (x0,y0) to
(x1,y1) while a radial gradient's control vector is from any point
on the start circle to the corresponding point on the end circle.</p>
<p>The color is specified in the same way as in <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-t.html#cairo-set-source-rgb" title="cairo_set_source_rgb ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_source_rgb()</code></a>.</p>
<p>If two (or more) stops are specified with identical offset values,
they will be sorted according to the order in which the stops are
added, (stops added earlier will compare less than stops added
later). This can be useful for reliably making sharp color
transitions instead of the typical blend.</p>
<p>Note: If the pattern is not a gradient pattern, (eg. a linear or
radial pattern), then the pattern will be put into an error status
with a status of <a class="link" href="cairo-Error-handling.html#CAIRO-STATUS-PATTERN-TYPE-MISMATCH:CAPS"><code class="literal">CAIRO_STATUS_PATTERN_TYPE_MISMATCH</code></a>.</p>

<p>Adds a translucent color stop to a gradient pattern. The offset
specifies the location along the gradient's control vector. For
example, a linear gradient's control vector is from (x0,y0) to
(x1,y1) while a radial gradient's control vector is from any point
on the start circle to the corresponding point on the end circle.</p>
<p>The color is specified in the same way as in <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-t.html#cairo-set-source-rgba" title="cairo_set_source_rgba ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_source_rgba()</code></a>.</p>
<p>If two (or more) stops are specified with identical offset values,
they will be sorted according to the order in which the stops are
added, (stops added earlier will compare less than stops added
later). This can be useful for reliably making sharp color
transitions instead of the typical blend.</p>
<p>Note: If the pattern is not a gradient pattern, (eg. a linear or
radial pattern), then the pattern will be put into an error status
with a status of <a class="link" href="cairo-Error-handling.html#CAIRO-STATUS-PATTERN-TYPE-MISMATCH:CAPS"><code class="literal">CAIRO_STATUS_PATTERN_TYPE_MISMATCH</code></a>.</p>

cairo_pattern_create_mesh (<em class="parameter"><code><span class="type">void</span></code></em>);</pre>
<p>Create a new mesh pattern.</p>
<p>Mesh patterns are tensor-product patch meshes (type 7 shadings in
PDF). Mesh patterns may also be used to create other types of
shadings that are special cases of tensor-product patch meshes such
as Coons patch meshes (type 6 shading in PDF) and Gouraud-shaded
triangle meshes (type 4 and 5 shadings in PDF).</p>
<p>Mesh patterns consist of one or more tensor-product patches, which
should be defined before using the mesh pattern. Using a mesh
pattern with a partially defined patch as source or mask will put
the context in an error status with a status of
<a class="link" href="cairo-Error-handling.html#CAIRO-STATUS-INVALID-MESH-CONSTRUCTION:CAPS"><code class="literal">CAIRO_STATUS_INVALID_MESH_CONSTRUCTION</code></a>.</p>
<p>A tensor-product patch is defined by 4 Bézier curves (side 0, 1, 2,
3) and by 4 additional control points (P0, P1, P2, P3) that provide
further control over the patch and complete the definition of the
tensor-product patch. The corner C0 is the first point of the
patch.</p>
<p>Degenerate sides are permitted so straight lines may be used. A
zero length line on one side may be used to create 3 sided patches.</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="screen">
      C1     Side 1       C2
       +---------------+
       |               |

       |               |

       +---------------+
     C0     Side 3        C3
</pre></div>
<p>Each patch is constructed by first calling
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-begin-patch" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch()</code></a>, then <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-move-to" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_move_to ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_move_to()</code></a>
to specify the first point in the patch (C0). Then the sides are
specified with calls to <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-curve-to" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_curve_to ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_curve_to()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-line-to" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_line_to ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_line_to()</code></a>.</p>
<p>The four additional control points (P0, P1, P2, P3) in a patch can
be specified with <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-set-control-point" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_set_control_point ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_set_control_point()</code></a>.</p>
<p>At each corner of the patch (C0, C1, C2, C3) a color may be
specified with <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-set-corner-color-rgb" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_set_corner_color_rgb ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_set_corner_color_rgb()</code></a> or
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-set-corner-color-rgba" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_set_corner_color_rgba ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_set_corner_color_rgba()</code></a>. Any corner whose color
is not explicitly specified defaults to transparent black.</p>
<p>A Coons patch is a special case of the tensor-product patch where
the control points are implicitly defined by the sides of the
patch. The default value for any control point not specified is the
implicit value for a Coons patch, i.e. if no control points are
specified the patch is a Coons patch.</p>
<p>A triangle is a special case of the tensor-product patch where the
control points are implicitly defined by the sides of the patch,
all the sides are lines and one of them has length 0, i.e. if the
patch is specified using just 3 lines, it is a triangle. If the
corners connected by the 0-length side have the same color, the
patch is a Gouraud-shaded triangle.</p>
<p>Patches may be oriented differently to the above diagram. For
example the first point could be at the top left. The diagram only
shows the relationship between the sides, corners and control
points. Regardless of where the first point is located, when
specifying colors, corner 0 will always be the first point, corner
1 the point between side 0 and side 1 etc.</p>
<p>Calling <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-end-patch" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_end_patch ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_end_patch()</code></a> completes the current
patch. If less than 4 sides have been defined, the first missing
side is defined as a line from the current point to the first point
of the patch (C0) and the other sides are degenerate lines from C0
to C0. The corners between the added sides will all be coincident
with C0 of the patch and their color will be set to be the same as
the color of C0.</p>
<p>Additional patches may be added with additional calls to
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-begin-patch" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_begin_patch()</code></a>/<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-mesh-pattern-end-patch" title="cairo_mesh_pattern_end_patch ()"><code class="function">cairo_mesh_pattern_end_patch()</code></a>.</p>

<p>When two patches overlap, the last one that has been added is drawn
over the first one.</p>
<p>When a patch folds over itself, points are sorted depending on
their parameter coordinates inside the patch. The v coordinate
ranges from 0 to 1 when moving from side 3 to side 1; the u
coordinate ranges from 0 to 1 when going from side 0 to side</p>
<div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="1"><li class="listitem"><p>Points with higher v coordinate hide points with lower v
coordinate. When two points have the same v coordinate, the one
with higher u coordinate is above. This means that points nearer to
side 1 are above points nearer to side 3; when this is not
sufficient to decide which point is above (for example when both
points belong to side 1 or side 3) points nearer to side 2 are
above points nearer to side 0.</p></li></ol></div>

specification (ISO32000), which describes the parametrization in

<p>Sets the pattern's transformation matrix to <em class="parameter"><code>matrix</code></em>
. This matrix is
a transformation from user space to pattern space.</p>
<p>When a pattern is first created it always has the identity matrix
for its transformation matrix, which means that pattern space is
initially identical to user space.</p>
<p>Important: Please note that the direction of this transformation
matrix is from user space to pattern space. This means that if you
imagine the flow from a pattern to user space (and on to device
space), then coordinates in that flow will be transformed by the
inverse of the pattern matrix.</p>
<p>For example, if you want to make a pattern appear twice as large as
it does by default the correct code to use is:</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
cairo_matrix_init_scale (&amp;matrix, 0.5, 0.5);
cairo_pattern_set_matrix (pattern, &amp;matrix);
</pre></div>
<p>Meanwhile, using values of 2.0 rather than 0.5 in the code above
would cause the pattern to appear at half of its default size.</p>
<p>Also, please note the discussion of the user-space locking
semantics of <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-t.html#cairo-set-source" title="cairo_set_source ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_source()</code></a>.</p>

<p>A <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-t" title="cairo_pattern_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_t</span></a> represents a source when drawing onto a
surface. There are different subtypes of <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-t" title="cairo_pattern_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_t</span></a>,
for different types of sources; for example,
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-create-rgb" title="cairo_pattern_create_rgb ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_create_rgb()</code></a> creates a pattern for a solid
opaque color.</p>
<p>Other than various
<code class="function">cairo_pattern_create_<span class="emphasis"><em>type</em></span>()</code>
functions, some of the pattern types can be implicitly created using various
<code class="function">cairo_set_source_<span class="emphasis"><em>type</em></span>()</code> functions;
for example <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-t.html#cairo-set-source-rgb" title="cairo_set_source_rgb ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_source_rgb()</code></a>.</p>
<p>The type of a pattern can be queried with <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-get-type" title="cairo_pattern_get_type ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_get_type()</code></a>.</p>
<p>Memory management of <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-t" title="cairo_pattern_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_t</span></a> is done with
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-reference" title="cairo_pattern_reference ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_reference()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-destroy" title="cairo_pattern_destroy ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_destroy()</code></a>.</p>

<a name="cairo-pattern-type-t"></a><h3>enum cairo_pattern_type_t</h3>
<p><a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-type-t" title="enum cairo_pattern_type_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_type_t</span></a> is used to describe the type of a given pattern.</p>
<p>The type of a pattern is determined by the function used to create
it. The <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-create-rgb" title="cairo_pattern_create_rgb ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_create_rgb()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-create-rgba" title="cairo_pattern_create_rgba ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_create_rgba()</code></a>
functions create SOLID patterns. The remaining
cairo_pattern_create functions map to pattern types in obvious
ways.</p>
<p>The pattern type can be queried with <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-get-type" title="cairo_pattern_get_type ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_get_type()</code></a></p>
<p>Most <a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-t" title="cairo_pattern_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_t</span></a> functions can be called with a pattern of any
type, (though trying to change the extend or filter for a solid
pattern will have no effect). A notable exception is
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-add-color-stop-rgb" title="cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgb ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgb()</code></a> and
<a class="link" href="cairo-cairo-pattern-t.html#cairo-pattern-add-color-stop-rgba" title="cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgba ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_add_color_stop_rgba()</code></a> which must only be called with
gradient patterns (either LINEAR or RADIAL). Otherwise the pattern
will be shutdown and put into an error state.</p>
